SOP-driven customer support agent configuration for tone, policy, and escalation consistency

AI is configured to follow a support SOP that defines tone, brand terminology, greeting patterns, troubleshooting approach, knowledge-source selection, policy boundaries, and escalation rules instead of relying on a rigid workflow tree.

Why the human is still essential here

Human support leaders still have to write, maintain, and approve the SOP, brand voice, policy rules, and escalation boundaries, and handle policy-sensitive or exceptional cases the agent should not resolve alone.

How people use this

Procedure-trained chat agent

A support team trains an AI agent on approved procedures, tone rules, and escalation criteria so it answers customer chats consistently without hardcoded decision trees.

Intercom Fin

Admin-configured service policies

Support operations admins encode brand voice, troubleshooting steps, and escalation guardrails into the service platform so the AI follows the same SOP across channels.

Zendesk AI

Case workflow policy assistant

Enterprise service teams configure AI guidance around case handling, compliance checks, and agent handoffs based on their internal support playbook.

How I Built a Multimodal CX Agent with Just an SOP and Gemini Live API

I wanted to test a simple idea: what if you architected an AI support agent the same way? Give it a training manual instead of a workflow tree. Give it Google Search instead of a RAG pipeline. And use a single multimodal model so you don’t need separate systems for voice, text, and vision.

I built Cortado for the Gemini Live Agent Challenge to explore what that looks like in practice.
